This concentrated formula is designed to effectively remove harmful copper levels from both freshwater and saltwater aquariums.
Copper can enter your tank through various means, such as tap water, medications, and algae treatments.
Left unchecked, high copper levels can be toxic to fish, invertebrates, and beneficial bacteria.
Fritz Coppersafe is a safe and effective chelated copper treatment designed to combat external parasites in freshwater and saltwater aquariums.
This concentrated formula provides relief from:
- Freshwater & Saltwater Ich (White Spot Disease)
- Freshwater & Saltwater Velvet
- Flukes
- Anchor Worms
Long-Lasting Treatment:
The long lasting formula only requires one dose to maintain a therapeutic level for up to one month in the aquarium, eliminating the need for repeat treatments.
- For best results, use Coppersafe in a quarantine tank.
- Remove ion-exchange resins and heavy metal adsorbing filter pads during treatment.
- Discontinue use of skimmer during treatment.
- Carbon does NOT need to be removed during treatment.
- UV Sterilizer can be used during treatment.
- Use with caution on aquariums with scaleless fish and other copper-sensitive livestock - do not use Coppersafe® solution with fish species that have a known sensitivity to copper.
- No contraindications: can be used with all of our other products and meds including ACCR and Complete.
- NOT SAFE FOR USE WITH INVERTEBRATES: corals, snails, shrimp, clams, jellyfish, other crustaceans or molluscs; remove these types of livestock before dosing.
- Coppersafe may be harmful to plants and amphibians.
- Only one dose is needed to achieve the therapeutic level of 1.5 - 2.0 ppm copper. No second dose is needed during treatment.
- To prevent accidental overdose in an unknown volume of water, add approximately 1/4 or 1/2 dose and test before adding additional copper.
- If water changes must be performed during treatment, treat the volume of replacement water with Coppersafe to maintain the therapeutic level.
- Overdosed? Perform large water changes immediately until a test kit reads below 2 ppm copper.
- After treatment, remove copper with water changes, or use a copper-specific adsorbing resin or polyfilter until the copper level returns to zero.
Directions & Dosage
- Dosage: Use 5 ml (1 teaspoon) per 15L of aquarium water.
- Treatment Level: This dosage maintains a total copper level of approximately 2.0 ppm.
- Test with a reliable copper test kit that measures above 2.0 ppm Total copper, or a kit that measures chelated copper.
